Consumer Description

THIS IS ON A 2006 YAMAHA FJR1300AE MODEL MOTORCYCLE WITH ABOUT 26K MILES ON IT. I STARTED THE MOTORCYCLE, IT RAN FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS THEN SHUTDOWN AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY OCCURRENCE. UPON INSPECTION BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECHNICIAN IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN OVERHEATED, MELTED GROUND JUNCTION IN THE MAIN ELECTRICAL HARNESS. THE MANUFACTURER IS GOING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MAIN HARNESS UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I HAVE. THE OLD HARNESS IS BEING SENT BACK TO THE OEM FOR INSPECTION. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM MONITORING CERTAIN INTERNET FORUMS FOR THIS MACHINE THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE HAVING IDENTICAL FAILURES. INASMUCH AS THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE THE MOTORCYCLE ENGINE TO SUDDENLY STOP RUNNING, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS OR FATAL CRASH INJURY. *TR
